A 'Make Your Pictures Say Something' CJ-SNAPSHOT CUI Always have your subjects doing something Fo PREDS of thousands of juve- nile story books are sold every year and the ones we loved most in our younger years were those trans- lated into pictures, because they had a human appeal. All through our lives we retain our interest in pic- ture storles. It is this appeal that takes us to the movies and causes us to look through the pages of daily newspapers and magazines for plc- tures that tell stories of human ac- tivities. But when it comes to snapshots, 80 many seem to forget how much they enjoy looking at story-telling pictures. They pick up their cameras and just shoot, seemingly satisfied to get any pictures at all, as it was in the old days of, "You Press the Button and We Do the Rest." There is a better way to take pictures. If you want to enjoy some good laughs take a look at some of the pictures in the old family album or some of the snapshots you took sev- eral years ago. There you will prob- "ably find some perfect examples of record pictures--pictures of Uncle - Charlie or Aunt Minnie in a stiff pose against the trunk of a tree or with an unattractive garage door as a background. Don't take pictures of your friends just standing looking at the camera. Have them lighting a cigarette, reading, or doing some- thing to season the picture with that human interest touch that should be in every film you expose. © You go out on a picnic with your friends. What do you do?. The chances are that you line up the gang, you snap the camera and again have just another picture when it would be just as easy to have the crowd enjoying the lunch and perhaps one member busily en- gaged In the act of "exterminating" a luscious ear of corn or doing a "boarding house reach" for the po- tato salad. If you were making movies, would you take foot after foot of film with your actors doing nothing?. Of course not, and it isn't a 'bad idea to think of your "still" camera as a movie camera filming a drama. Get action and meaning. This means that you should think before you shoot. The two pictures above really "say something." Jack's picture with his bicycle tells of "chain trouble" and a delay in meeting the gang at the vacant lot for a game of baseball, while Billie is probably telling his young girl friend about his"great ad- ventures as a sailor; of pirate's gold and Pieces of Eight. In case you have never given much thought to this before, just take a look through a newspaper or magazine and notice which please you more--pictures of people mere- ly looking at the camera or pictures of people doing something humanly interesting and significant. Chances are that the story-telling pictures will be your choice, and you'll make up your mind that hereafter that's the kind you'll aim to take. Good luck! JOHN VAN GUILDER.

Automatic HEAT The summer days are almost gone; almost before Wwe know it the furnace will have to be stoked up in order to have a temperature in which people can live in comfort. : ; With the old method of operating the furnace by hand, temperatures up sometimes to an uncom- fortable heat, then_.down to be uncomfortably cold. This can be eliminated by installing an AUTO- MATIC DAMPER CONTROL. This is not ex- .pensive to install, takes the worry of looking after the damper off your mind, besides giving an even heat, day and night, in the bitter cold, or the moderate warm days of winter.
